The deceased was born in Virginia, January 4, 1817 and was therefore 74 years, 8 months and 18 days old. When a young man he moved from Virginia to Ohio, locating in Ross county, and afterwards, about 1850, came to Van Wert county where he has since resided.

Funeral services took place yesterday and were attended by a very large concourse of sorrowing friends.
